Tagging this as Michie is wild broš
I completely understand not liking a ship or how itās portrayed, but you have to understand. Thatās your opinion. No we do not all have to come to an agreement, weāre all different people with different thoughts.
Thereās a difference between āI wish a ship was portrayed more this way,ā and āI think we should all come to an agreement to stop engaging in this specific way because people are doing it Wrong, which is, not aligning with how I see it.ā
Share your opinion. Go for it! But this is closer to policing the things that other people enjoy. Acting like the only right or acceptable way to enjoy a ship is the more angsty version that it would play out as realistically is,
1) Defeating the point of fan works, being that they can branch away from canon as much as you want because itās literally just for fun, and
2) Unkind
Let people have fun! If you donāt think itās fun then dont do it! Block the tag!
Hey Hatchetfield moots can we just collectively realize and accept the fact that Michie is lowkey a very toxic relationship because canonically Max has been bullying Pete since fourth grade which would mean he probably started bullying the other nerds around then which means Max has been bullying Richie and the nerds for almost a decade so even if Max has a redemption arc and does canonically have trauma I don't think there is any way this ship could be positive or healthy Richie would have to have some Stockholm syndrome type shit to even fall in love with Max in the first place not trying to ruin the ship for anyone but I feel like we need to realize this as a fandom please and thank you šš
